Get a cheap but quiet mixer that can accommodate both MIC and LINE INs.  
For
Home, I hook up the line level output from the sound card via a
stereo-miniplug-to-separate-RCA female adapter, to a shielded cable going 
to
the DAT inputs on my receiver.  For shows, I add an inexpensive mixer which
accepts mic/line inputs, and output whatever the venue demands.

On the level of having the systems connected together, I've had a blast
utilizing the various settings offered for speaker configuration in
Windows98.  It's been fun tailoring material Just for the "hooked up" PC,
some parts of which show up as the Loop Of The Week (sorry, couldn't help
it, but it's true).
